  Descripción

  We are a family in the Kootaney's BC. living just outside of Kaslo. We would like to improve our land so that it can grow food, host community gatherings and create musical events. Our "Backroad" community is a unique part of Kaslo with many new homesteads and young families/friends. We are involved in the local community through music, festivals, and sports. My partner also has experience bringing new visitors up into the Alpine. His name is Dean and owns a small local landscaping business that brings local plants and compost that helps better our own gardens. We also homeschool some of our children and have alternative ways of guiding their learning in outdoor ways. There is an interesting community of families who share this unique way of raising their children however we are also connected and supported by our public school community as well.
  
  My name is Allison and I am a local musician as well as early years teacher at a Waldorf inspired centre.

  I have lived in Mexico as a teenager for three months. I have lived speaking French in Northern Quebec. And I have lived for three months in Haiti. I have experienced living and learning another language and culture and see the value in that adventure!
